Tabbed by JNPF1 [Verse 1]
   Am6           Em
No night to stay in,

      Am6       Em
A bad moon is rising again,

     Am6           G
Dice rolls and you burn,

     Cadd9  B7
Come down I fear,

        E          Am7
As that cold wheel turns.

  Am6         Em
I know what I know,

    Am6           Em
Sad Claude's been sleeping around,

   Am6              G
To stroke the right nerve,

      Cadd9       B7
Who's needs do I serve?

   E                    Am7     Am6
As Catherine's Wheel Turns.
[Chorus]
        G          Cadd9        D
She was always the first to say gone,

G             Cadd9            D
She's got her Catherine Wheels on,

G          Cadd9    Am6       Em
Always the first to say gone.
[Verse 2]
   Am6         Em
Go kindly with him,

       Am6       Em
To his blind apparition,

      Am6          G
Whose face creases up,

     Cadd9    B7
With age gone grey,

         E             Am7    Am6
We'll be back here one day.
[Chorus]
        G          Cadd9        D
She was always the first to say gone,

G             Cadd9            D
She's got her Catherine Wheels on,

G          Cadd9        D
Always the first to say gone,

G             Cadd9        B7
She's got her Catherine Wheels on, Wheels on,

D                   G
She's gone vanished in the night,

C                      D
Broke off the logic of life,

                 G
He woke tore the covers back,

C                   D
Found he was empty inside,

                           G
So they were told when the moon would rise,

    C                            D
The best time to leave with your soul,

                   G
She's gone, up towards the light,

C                       D         Dm
Watching her whole life unfold,  ohh

Cadd9             Gm       D
Bruises come up dark.
[Verse 4]
D                 G
So strong was his hold on her,

C                       D
Regarded by some as his slave,

                 G
He spoke as in a strangers tongue,

   C                      D     Dm
To scare us and drive you away, eh

Cadd9            Gm
Bruises come up dark.
[Outro] Am Am6 Am7
